The Book of Love

by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Ninowy

With the poetic fragrance of Rumi, wisdom like Al-Ghazali, and the light of God's scripture, comes The Book of Love: a quiet yet compelling collection of reflections and pearls of wisdom that will inspire, motivate and guide you to a deeper understanding of love. It is the love that can bring fulfillment both in your own life and in your search for God. Though based on the foundational Islamic scriptures, the Quran & Prophetic Tradition, it transcends the usual boundaries of faith and belief to present the deeper guidance that lies at the core of them all. Each page contains a morsel of insight - short teachings meant to be savored and deeply pondered - gently calling the reader back to seeking love through their faith & conduct, to see through the lens of love, and to do so for the sake of love. In an age where we often feel inundated by negativity, conflict, and doubt, this book is intended to be a "breath of fresh air", uplifting the hearts to the universal language of Love.

Beautiful to read and much more to reflect upon!

I came across this book completely by accident, but I’ve found myself infinitely grateful I did. Full of verse about love and the Almighty in a beautifully decorated book that incites the heart to reconnect and centre.

I found the verse incredibly thought provoking and heart lifting, a truly miraculous written piece that you can’t help but feel in every fibre of your being. A piece that preaches about love and it’s importance in faith and Islam is a topic that I think I’ll never tire of reading about.

I like to read books that make me feel and this book definitely did that. It’s a wonderfully easy read, especially during Ramadan where you’re trying to draw closer to Allah (swt) and a very impactful one as far as I’m concerned. Would definitely recommend this book!

A book that affirms Islam is message of love, despite all other rhetoric in the media.
This is a wonderful read, that stimulates deep thought and reflection on what Islam is, and how to travel to God. Highly recommend looking up some of the authors readings on YouTube to delve into the depths of some of these aphorisms.

This book shows that love is vast and can mean different things base on our perspectives in life and our love towards allah. There are some quotes and sayings written by the author that may be short but the content is meaningful.

I thought this would be similar to the book Timeless Seeds of Advice (which I loved) or give the same vibe with the whole little snippets of writing that makes you reflect, but it did not unfortunately. Maybe I didn’t read enough of it idk but I gave up after reading like 60 pages.
